JMHS will be using GoFan.co for ALL TICKETS for sporting events at James Monroe High School this year. Cash WILL NOT be accepted at the gate. Fans can purchase their tickets by using the following link, https://gofan.co/app/school/WV1180. Fans may also purchase a ticket at the event with a credit card. Please visit the Monroe County Schools website to learn more information.
GoFan.co is a company that caters to the needs of high school sports. It is the largest high school ticketing solution in the United States. They are committed to the success of: exceptional fan experience, turnkey event management and transparent digital finance.
JMHS was lucky enough to use GoFan.co last year during all of our playoff games. It created a streamline process that fans and administration enjoyed. Fans that do not have an eticket may purchase one at the gate with a credit card. A table will be setup for those that need assistance. Not only is it beneficial for our fans. It also will benefit our gate workers and administration. Gate workers and administration must make sure that tickets and money match. They must stay after the games to count both tickets and money. This makes for late nights and long days. JMHS considered raising the cost of the ballgames due to the increase in pay for the officials however, we reconsidered because of the small $1.00 surcharge by the GoFan.co.
Let's honor, Mrs Malory McPherson (Peterstown Middle) and Mr. Todd Lusk (James Monroe Community in Schools) for always going above and beyond for their students--Excellence is Education Award
